So what kind of stuff (gouger, cane splitter, guillotine, pre-gouger, and shaper) do you have, Craig?
I bought my Dan Ross gouger back in 2006 for $800 & haven't looked back. I use his old-school planer & arrowhead splitter. Rigotti tube cane @ $55 per pound (10.5-11.0 mm diameter) or David Weber's Grimaud. Shape is David Weber's 1B. I'm a happy camper, what with my Neilsen wedgie sharpened to a fare-thee-well on sandpaper affixed to plate glass & stropped on copper oxide impregnated leather,causing it to all come together. I make three or four reeds a week; more during concert season which starts next week.
Thanks for the research.
Best,
john
